Went through the same thing on my trans rebuild 2 weeks ago. Spent some
time cleaning and polishing the parts, when that still didn't work, I filed
the small plunger to a rounder shape and also rounded off the edges of the
recess in the large plunger. Works like a champ now.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Transmission - rear shifter plunger
John
Last week I worked on a box with the "same" problem. The problem in this
case was that it was very hard to shift to reverse, and when it did it was
with a noisy click sound. You know, the design is that you need to hit the
gear lever slightly to get the bigger plunger to pass the smaller. But in
this case you needed to hit the lever too hard, at least for my taste. I
polished the plungers so that the surfaces were very smooth, but it didn't
help. I then tried with a spring for the smaller plunger that was a little
weaker than original, and results were good.
